I think I've made up a new category: Crack!Angst. You'll see what I mean
Prompt: Interdimensional Phone Call
She had tried not to cry; really, she did. But the tears kept pushing their way and her throat kept tightening. Eventually the tears fell. She let them and tried to muffle any sobs; she didn't want to wake the others. Especially Usagi, she didn't want Usagi to know why she was crying. It would only hurt her.
Chibi-Usa gulped in air and made up her mind. She dried her tears with her hand and snuck out of bed. After digging through her dresser and pulling out a small device, she made her way to the kitchen.
She wasn't supposed to use this unless it was a dire emergency. Papa had been very clear about that when he told her how to use the device. So she debated for a moment whether or not she should do this. But the visions from her dreams would reappear and voices from memories of long ago disasters would echo in her mind and the tears would once more gather in her eyes.
Attaching the device to the phone she dialed a memorized number. A familiar voice answered the other line, one that used to sing her to sleep when her parents were away.
"Small Lady, what's wrong?"
"I-" The tears made her voice crack, so she cleared her throat and tried again. "I need to talk to Mama. Please."
"Why? What's happened? Do we need to intervene? Have you talked to Pluto about it?"
He was asking her lots of questions but Chibi-Usa could hear his quick footsteps. He wasn't going to deny her this.
"Please, I just need to talk to Mama."
"Ok, ok. Here." The next voice brought on a fresh set of tears, but this these were not driven by fear and terror from the night.
"Small Lady?"
"Mama."
The end of the month found the entire household –minus Chibi-Usa- staring in horror at their phone bill. The two adults looked at first their daughter and then their son.
"Don't look at me. I use my cell phone for all my calls."
"I haven't been allowed to use any phones at all this month."
